Freeze Out and the Boltzmann Transport Equation

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

Recently several works have appeared in the literature that addressed the problem of Freeze Out in energetic heavy ion reaction and aimed for a description based on the Boltzmann Transport Equation (BTE). In this paper we develop a dynamical Freeze-Out description, starting from the BTE, pointing out the basic limitations of the BTE approach, and the points where the BTE approach should be modified.
